The latest wave of drones came as Moscow continued to claim incremental gains in Ukraine's east.

Ukraine unleashed more than 140 drones on Russia overnight, officials said Tuesday, killing a woman near Moscow, grounding flights and setting off air defences in several parts of the country.

Russia's ministry of defence said in a statement it had shot down 144 Ukrainian drones overnight -- "72 UAVs over Bryansk region, 20 over Moscow region, 14 over Kursk region, 13 over Tula region", and 25 more over five other parts of the country.

Moscow regional governor Andrey Vorobyov said in a Telegram post that a 46-year-old woman had been killed and several people wounded in the strikes.
